The variation on Tokai is truely worth a catalogue. Nice looking bass - would be great to have a photo data base (bass!) Appreciate you posting this - it will increase our knowledge. Best Regards, Thunder Bass

I think the bass looks very correct - parts look right and the logo issue comment makes good sense - would they really make a left handed bass logo? Probably not - just a right handed slappped on - good to go! Very nice bass - I have a 1985 slightly higher end bass right handed and has the same...

Your Tokai Bass looks like one I saw on EBAY out of California somewhere a few months ago - It looked very nice with mint like quality. The lower number sticker would appear to be a lower priced model but the special gold parts and painted headstock would suggest a custom special order - it...

Bravo! I encourage you to move this up to ebay and post your comments and negative feedback. This is clearly meant to misrepresent. The best defense is a good offense. Thunder Bass

I was sorry to hear and read of this misrepresentation you experienced. I hope this resolves to your satisfaction. What did you pay for this? Other readers will note that before buying it is important to do a lot of reading and research on the instrument they are looking for. A few things that...

You might want to review the material on the dating section. You can get into the dating by matching the headstock decal to one of the ones on the site and get the approximate date on the bass you have. I am a bit of a notice myself but I would suspect it to be 1984 to 1985 range. Thunder Bass

WOW.... The pictures were fantastic and really do justice to the craftmanship on this LP..... It's like porn. Nice - Thunder Bass

Thanks for your help on this. I was hunting around for help and must say that the "Tokai Brotherhood" has come to my distress call. Have not managed to find any pictures of a similar model on this HP and to find that it is a more deluxe model of the 1985 vintage would make sense. The pickup is...

Did you purchase one yet? I have a HP which I just mentioned in a new posting - I have been trying to date this bass and finally got some pictures up on the site. Take a look and see if it like any of the ones you have seen. Thunder Bass

I have purchased a Tokai HardPuncher P Bass - I would like to see if anyone out there has any information that might help to date this bass. The noticable features are the non-traditional pick up - flat without poles - the hardware for the strap buttons and knobs are a flat black versus the...

Guitar God - that was an incredible posting. Wonderful to get access to the acutal catalogue - I just have purchased a 1978 LP Reborn and appreciate your efforts to get this out there.... Bravo

Hello Arie - I thought I would say hello as I noticed no one seemed to reply to you on the bass you were looking at. I have purchased a few Tokai basses recently and would suggest that the price might be a little higher than I paid. But if it is in good condition or better and you really enjoy...

Very fresh and fun. I would have engaged a better producer but this is a solid performance - nice guitar work - Live shows would be a gas! Thanks for putting this out there - hope you have fun with these people.
